Closing a Firefox tab is a potentially awkward two-click operation

I must have a funky version of Firefox. All I have to do to close a tab is click the little "x" to the right of my tabs.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong. ;)

They must be thinking (being Windows users) of right-clicking and closing the tabs.

As usual, the Windows users are only thinking 2-dimensionally.

LOL. Yeah, it works for me too. Someone at IW messed up, I think!

I use Safari. I like it a lot better than Firefox or the Mac equivalent Camino. It just works better to me, and I love that expanding the window only does it enough to show the full page instead of taking up my whole screen.

Yeah, I was thinking that too. Closing the active tab is a one-click process. Perhaps they were thinking about closing inactive tabs without switching to them first, which takes either left click select-left click close or right click-left click close.

Now Safari arguably is better. Each tab has a little X on it that you can click to close that tab whether it is inactive or active.

You sure are. You're not drinking the Microsoft Kool-Aid.

IE will never be what Firefox is today.
Until IE can give users the option of customizing the browser as Firefox does with Extensions and Themes, it will always be in catch-up mode.
Firefox is as individual as its users. No two are alike. Yet they are all the same.

I don't care what browser MS comes out with. I'm never giving up Firefox. It fits too well.

Anyone who finds closing a Firefox tab as a 'potentially awkward two-click operation' might have problems walking and chewing bubble gum at the same time.

I have been using IE7 for quite a while now and I like it far more than FF...

The extensions are cool but just a mess to deal with when the extension is no longer compatible with a newer version of FF or the extension isnt being supported any longer.

The more extensions you have, the more of a slug your browser becomes.

I still hate how FF's refresh doesnt take you to the same point on the page but rather further down... I think its a known bug but they just havent addressed it even with their Bon Echo... Thats pretty annoying when you are on a live thread.

I do like FF's RSS live bookmarks. I like the menu dropping down with the RSS feed populating it.
